Supporters threaten legal action against Stephen Vaughan Jnr's Bangor City to see accounts which lost them league status

Former Chester City player and chairman is director of football at Welsh side, with fans saying they should be allowed to view financial information the FAW was shown prior to decision stripping Citizens of tier-one standing

Supporters of Bangor City say the club’s owners are refusing to show them the accounts on which the Welsh FA based its decision to revoke the Citizens’ licence to play in the top-tier league.

The Bangor City FC Supports Association (BCFCSA) made a formal request to the crisis-hit club a month ago, asking to see the financial documents which they had to show to the Football Association of Wales (FAW) in April.

SA member and Gwynedd councillor, Dylan Fernley, said: “The letter was sent more than a month ago. I emailed a formal request. They’ve had sufficient time to reply.

“The SA is a major shareholder and it was a formal request to see the accounts as we are allowed. We want to see the accounts they finalised to the FAW. The next step would be to take legal action. They are just treating everybody with direspect.”

In an official statement, the club said: “The accounts are due on September 30. All shareholders will receive a copy prior to their being released.”

It added that it had been waiting for 'information' from the Supporters Association for over a month, but did not elaborate on what information it was seeking.

A previous appeal by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) against the Citizens was settled at the High Court on June 6 but now it has launched a fresh bid to take the club to the High Court, with the second petition due to be heard in London on August 8.

Former Chester City player and chairman Mr Vaughan Jr, currently holds the role of director of football at Bangor and told a fans forum in May that the club had no creditors and that they were up to date with HMRC, VAT and PAYE and that all wages to players and staff had been paid in full.
